ABBA's The Singles (The First Fifty Years) updates the concept of 1982's The Singles (The First Ten Years), a double album which collected 23 of the group's A-sides (including new tracks "The Day Before You Came" and "Under Attack," effectively the final works from the group after members Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad as well as Björn Ulvaeus and Agnetha Fältskog divorced.  The First Fifty Years expands the offering to 38 tracks, including all the favorites you know and love: their breakthrough Eurovision Song Contest winner "Waterloo" (which turned 50 this year), "S.O.S.," "Fernando," "Mamma Mia," the immortal disco classic "Dancing Queen," "Take a Chance on Me," "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)," "The Winner Takes It All," "Super Trouper" and so many more. The set features the band's most complete presentation of A-sides yet, including ones that were released in other territories. And, for the first time on an ABBA compilation, The First Fifty Years also includes tracks from their surprise reunion album, 2021's Voyage. Historian Carl Magnus Palm writes liner notes in an accompanying illustrated 28-page booklet.
